I wrote for @ConversationUS about our research on online platform migration and what I think it suggests about a potential #TwitterMigration. Network effects, the cost of leaving, what it means to be a community, how other platforms might take advantage... theconversation.com/mass-mig…

On the topic of the possible #TwitterMigration, The Atlantic spoke to Prof. @cfiesler and PhD alum @BriannaDym about their research into how people leave and join online platforms. @CUBoulderCMCI

Prof. @cfiesler of @cuboulder spoke to @SparkCBC on Canadian public radio about social media narratives and how ordinary people can go viral on TikTok and beyond.
This week, we look at TikTok's "witch hunt effect" and how the design of online communities and platforms contributes to the spread of hero/villain narratives centering on everyday people.
